What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students identify and extend arithmetic patterns, including patterns in addition and multiplication tables. They describe the rule and use structure to predict later entries.

What Mastery Looks Like

The student extends a numerical or table pattern accurately and names a consistent rule. The student explains features such as even products in a selected row or column.

Common Misconceptions

Students may continue a pattern from the last difference without checking earlier terms. They may describe visible entries but not identify the arithmetic rule.

How to Assess It

Show 4, 8, 12, 16 and the fours row of a multiplication table. Ask students to extend both and explain the shared arithmetic pattern.

Lesson moves

Ways to Teach It

  1. Highlight equal jumps on addition and multiplication tables, then extend the matching number sequences.

  2. Ask students why every entry in the sixes row is even.

  3. Play Pattern Detective by finding a missing term and stating the arithmetic rule.

  4. Track a weekly collection that grows by the same number each week.
